Turns out that the pump is getting power, it's just that the PO had well
water and the hard water has left enough deposits that the fins on the pump
won't spin without some assistance to get it started. Of course, the plastic
fins are brittle that it's just falling apart too. At least the wiring is
good!

Thanks for all the advice to this new (and obviously thick-headed) Westy
owner!

Love, Light & Laughter,
Jay

Forgot to say, check the ground before you start messing with the
pump...you need one wire at +12 and one at ground.  But you knew that...
